2024-10-29 19:42:56"Sorry, son. But Dad has got to go. Be strong and brave, I love you." Says this man as he then boarded a boat and left this little child alone.
For some reason, Thomas can still remember what happened that day clearly. And it pisses him off, especially when his father dared to say that he loves him after what he's done. His father is a menace, a no-good piece of shit. As he was continuously cursing his father, Thomas hit his head on a plank and that woke him up. Thomas shook his head as he looked around him. He is now in a small prison cell and is tied up in a rope. The place was all wobbly and felt like riding waves. And that was enough for Thomas to determine that he has been kidnapped by these pirates and he was knocked out when he tried to resist. Normal people would lose hope and just accept their fate, but not Thomas. He is still confident that he would get out of the grasps of these nasty pirates and will go home. But first, he needs to get out of here and get onto shore. While Thomas is planning his escape, a pirate who wears a red bandana over his bald head approached the cell. He three guns strapped around his waist and was wearing this ugly smile,
"Good thing you woke up, mate. We're here!" smiled the pirate.
Thomas narrowed his eyes as he then looked at this man. Thomas released a one-of-a-kind pressure that made this man break into sweat,
"Where exactly?" Thomas asked.
"G-GrimTown." The man replied as he then ran out of the cell.
GrimTown, a big town that is also the center of trading here in the Koes Sea. That place is also crawling with pirates, that is why the navy have a station there, and from what Thomas has been hearing, the captain that oversees that island is a strong one. That captain is presumably one of the strongest navy sailors in Koes. And within minutes, a few more pirates came in and opened the cell. They grabbed Thomas and made him walk. And as the ship wobbles, Thomas grabbed the opportunity. He slammed his body to the pirate at the left.
"Watch it, fool!" the smelly pirate bellowed.
"Sorry, dear sir." Thomas regained his balance and bowed to show submission.
He was then brought into the main deck, and he was greeted by dozens of pirates. And the captain is just right in the middle, waiting for him. The pirates who escorted Thomas out of the cell suddenly pushed him and Thomas just stumbled on the floor. Delgado then approached Thomas and then stomped on his chest and just stepped on it for a while,
"Take off the ropes and then put him in cuffs! We don't want to attract the navy as this will just be a quick negotiation with our connection." Delgado ordered.
"Aye, aye, Captain!" the crew bellowed as they then made their move.
They removed Thomas' ropes carefully and with their guards up, because knowing this fellow, he would try to struggle. And their guess was right. As soon as Thomas got released from the tightness of the ropes, he just easily breaks free from it. This just proves that his strength training was not in vain. He then began to knock out the pirates around him. And since his crew are around the kidnapped kid, Delgado can't get a clear shot and they were all just pointing guns at them. Delgado then shouted in frustration, as he decided,
"Fire at will!" he ordered.
Since pirates are know for their brutality and merciless acts, the pirates besides the captain shot at the crewmembers that are also fighting against Thomas. And for the young one, this is his opportunity. As he realized that the gunshots have stopped, and they are probably reloading or something, Thomas pushed his way through the falling pirates and then, with the gun he stole from earlier, he fired it towards the others. Delgado got of the way just in time, but some of his crews were shot dead. And when Thomas ran out of bullets, he just jumped off the ship and onto the docks where people began to run because of the commotion. Seeing his prey get loose, Delgado went to the side where Thomas jumped, and then shot 2 bullets at him. And out of those 2 bullets, one grazed Thomas' left thigh. Even though he is hurt, Thomas just went to continue to run as he will now die if he gets caught as he just pissed someone who has a bounty of 10,000,000 pendz.
"Follow him!" Delgado ordered to his crew.
And they just jumped off the ship and tried to chase Thomas who is now running through alleys trying to escape them.
***
After an hour of running around the town, Thomas is now thinking that he might have outrun them. He needs to continue running, but his left leg has gone completely numb, and the blood he is losing is becoming a grave threat. Thomas sat at an alley's corner that is hidden from the rest and just tried to apply pressure on his wound. He just sat there and rested and was thinking about if what he di was a mistake or not. Because he just successfully pissed off a person who has a high bounty, and now, that person, with his crew, are now looking for him so that they can kill him. As Thomas was resting, he then unconsciously looked at the sky, and there he saw what he doesn't want to. Delgado was flying up there and was blocking the sun and has this mad grin on his face that made Thomas nervous a little. Thomas tried to make a run for it, but as he was about to exit the alley, it was already blocked by the remaining crewmembers of the Plundy Pirates. He has now left with one choice, and that is to fight. Thomas looked around trying to find something to be used as a weapon, and then, he found a wooden and toy sword that is at least two feet long. Thomas pointed it at the pirates as they laughed. Possessing a wooden toy sword as a weapon against pirates who are going for the kill was ridiculous indeed. However, to Thomas, the sword does not matter, as long as he can kill with it,
"Enough with this. Just kill him already!" Delgado bellowed.
And his crew raised their weapons and aimed their guns at Thomas and prepared to attack. Thomas took a deep breath, and when he heard a gunshot, he began attacking.
With the wooden sword he has, he attacked the pirates like it was if he was holding some sharp blade. Because every swing he does, it was if the pirates are being slashed by a real sword. Delgado is just watching from up above as his crew is getting annihilated by some unknown kid. And another that piqued his interest is that this kid has no signs of having a boon, which made this battle more interesting as he is fighting out of pure talent and strength. And just like that, his crewmembers are all lying on the floor, bleeding to death and can't move anymore. Delgado sighed as he then came down from the air as his crew was just really useless. He stood face to face with Thomas and then he noticed that Thomas was not using his left foot to touch the ground, that means he is hurt, and he would be using this to his advantage,
"Before I kill you, I would want you to know that before I kill someone, I ask what their names are. So, what is your name, kid?" Delgado asked as he is now preparing for an attack.
Thomas believed that this is it for him, so, what is wrong with revealing his name?
"The name is Thomas Jack." Thomas replied.
Delgado narrowed his eyes and tilted his head slightly to the right,
"Are you related to The Terror?" Delgado asked again.
"That person, I don't want to admit it, but that vile person is my father." Thomas answered.
And with that, the ear who was intently watching and listening to this have made a move. Delgado laughed as he just can't believe that someone is admitting that he is a son of one of the most wanted criminals in the world. Edward is being targeted by both the navy, bounty hunters and then pirates themselves. But having an attendance with the 4th strongest is rare, so everyone who comes across him will immediately try and kill but will be killed instead.
"You say impossible things, child! How would a strong man like Edward have a weak of a son like you? It's funny! But because of that, I shall give you a painless death." Delgado then raised his hand and was about to attack.
This is his notorious hand swipe. Since he has boon of wind, he can create invisible blades. Thomas prepared his wooden sword to deflect it even though it was pointless,
"So long, son of Edward!" Delgado screamed.
Thomas just accepted his wait, and then, all of a sudden, the head of Delgado came off and rolled all over the ground. Blood bursts out his neck like a fountain, and Thomas just looked away. But then, he sensed something, he turned around, and this man, wearing a black cloak was standing there.
"I overheard your conversation. Would you like to tell me more about the man who destroyed the town I live in?"

This man with blond hair then brought Thomas back into his inn that he was staying in. And in that room, it was if Thomas is being interrogated because of a crime he did."First things first, are you really the son of The Terror?" asked the man.As much as he hates it, Thomas nodded. The man is sensing that Thomas is not lying, which means this man is the real deal. And as he looks closer, they do loo alike, except for their eyes, Edward has black ones. Delgado underestimated this fellow, because to this man, he can sense that this kid has something hiding under his sleeves."In any case, here." The man then tossed some healing materials for Thomas to use to treat his wounds.While he was treating himself, the man sat and then looked at him,"My name is William Davis, call me Will.

They placed their ship where it can't be seen by others. Since this island is filled with pirates, no one can really be trusted as their ship might get stolen if they leave it in plain sight. The two placed their stolen ship in a hidden location, and it is inside of this cave near the water. After putting it there, the two then prepared themselves. Thomas took 2 pistols and a machete with him and strapped it all on his waist. Meanwhile, since William is a wind boon expert, he only fights with his fists, and he really does not know how to handle weapons that much."Before we get off, let us prepare our boons before going to town." Says William as he is now testing his powers and hitting the water with it."Uhm, that's the problem. I am boonless,""Boneless?""No! I don't have a boon, just fighting skills."And that was a massive curveball. Thomas keeps on telling surprises, one after another. To think that the son of someone who has fire powers doesn't have any boon, and yet, he has de

After the bloody second elimination, it is finally time for the final round. Thomas is now face to face against this scrawny man with black hair. He may not look like it, but this man is strong as hell. He came from the most difficult bracket where people with over 5 million bounties on their heads, but he won without even breaking a sweat and without even getting hurt at all. That's how strong he is."And now, for the final match! Thomas Griffin versus Jeff Tew!" the crowd went wild.But then, the mayor made a revelation. It turns out that Jeff is the one who built the galleon ship with his men as he is a talented shipwright, hence he participated in this battle in order to reclaim his own ship as he will not just give it away to some pirates without fighting for it. The mayor then signaled the start of the battle, and for a change, Thomas went on to charge first. However, when he reached the middle part of the ring and was just preparing for a punch, he was met there by Jeff, and si

"I will still not forget the scar your fucking father left me!" yelled the captain as he swung his flaming sword at Thomas who blocked it with his own new sword."Well, guess what? I also hate my father! And if you could excuse us, we are going on a journey, so get out of the way!" Thomas replied with a yell.Newton just grinned as he puts extra weight on his sword as Thomas is getting pushed back. William right now is also fighting some navy sailors that is preventing him from preparing their voyage by attaching the helm to its designated place. And he must admit that holding off a lot of sailors is being quite annoying and difficult itself. As the two are now struggling, a gang of people suddenly helped them. They all climbed up the ship and beat the hell out of the sailors on it. And when Thomas looked around, it was Jeff on the ship with his men in his shipwright job,"Hurry up!" Jeff ordered Thomas.And it seems as it was if he is about to join the crew. Jeff and the others are n
The Great Jewel CHAPTER 7: NEW CHALLENGES
"Fire at will!" Thomas ordered as loud bangs erupted from their ship and is going towards the enemies.Whistling cannon balls are raining upon their enemies which are pirates too. Since Thomas became a big shot so suddenly, other pirate groups are now making their move to annihilate him so that they would get famous by slaying the son of The Terror. It has been a week, and they are now closing in the kingdom of Miliq. The pirates who came there in that town who didn't have any luck to plunder it are now coming back and coincidentally encountered the Jack Pirates. The Jack Pirates launched a barrage of cannon balls at them, but the pirate groups were unfazed, they still charged at the rookies' ship. Until they are now next to the ship of the Jack Pirates,"Prepare for battle!" Thomas ordered.As his crew and him then went back-to-back and is now watching as rival pirates came down their ships and were zipping down the ropes they attached to Ace. The fight erupted, 3 captains are now du
The Great Jewel CHAPTER 8: THE SEARCH
The Jack Pirates are now hiking their way through the forest to reach the gates that is supposed to be 30 minutes away from the village they came from. As they walked, Jeff suggested that the name of the ship shall be changed to something else that would match its appearance."Instead of Ace, I recommend that the ship will be called as the Sailing Falcon. You know?" Jeff suggested.It makes sense, since their figurehead is a black falcon, Thomas agreed with the idea, and for now on, the ship's name changed from Ace to the Sailing Falcon which sounds much cooler than what the thought of before. And then, after 30 minutes of walking, they finally reached the kingdom gates. Just like what the elder said, the gates have no guards, as if they are content and confident that no one would trespass their kingdom. In any case, the pirate crew entered with discretion since they can't cause any trouble as they need to get off this kingdom immediately. And then, Thomas came up with an idea,"We sh
The Great Jewel CHAPTER 9
It has been 2 days of searching and what the Jack Pirates are only receiving were hints for the past 2 days. It is now April 2nd of the afternoon, and they are back on their ship and was discussing all the hints they have received in 2 days. To the others, this is something to be glad of since they are finally getting onto something with these hints. However, Thomas is having doubts about this. It is because these hints just randomly appear in places where they were. That can be considered as coincidence, however, it happened for 2 days straight. Something is wrong, and Thomas knows it. The hints were just too easy and too good to be true. And then, William revealed something,"I have gathered some information. It turns out that three navy warships are docked at the main port of this kingdom and is waiting for orders so they can transport the criminal that is being kept here." William says.Thomas nodded and this is when he came up with a guess. He told the crew his hypothesis, and at

They are literally outnumbered from 2 to 100. So, they need a decisive plan in order to get that Henry out of there and defeat them. But before Thomas could start planning, William then gave him something,"Ought you want to know." William says as he then gave Thomas an article.It turns out, this article contains Edward Jack, Thomas' father. And it says here, his bounty has been increased significantly,"WANTED!Dead or AliveEdward "The Terror" JackBounty: 3,700,000,000 pendz""That shitty father.
